About this album

In this recording, I wanted to stay true to the deep tradition of Irish music, but also to record music that doesn’t fall under the title of traditional music.

This record features compositions by Tomás Clancy (Tomás Clancy’s 1 & 2 - track 2), Junior Crehan (The Luachrachán - track 3), Richard Dwyer (Richard Dwyer’s Reel - track 7), Liz Carroll (Ricky’s White Face - track 7), Emanuel Jonasson (The Cuckoo Waltz - track 8), Vincent McGrath (Maureen’s Fancy - Track 9), along with traditional tunes (origins unknown).

The Battle of Affane (track 4), Old Timers & The Cat’s Tail (track 5), Press and Draw (Track 6), Carnival Waltz (track 10) written and arranged by Seamas Hyland.
